[ Everything went a little bit better than expected, so that's like 80% of Finn's excess tension gone in like three sentences. He likes Cisco, is the thing. He definitely trusts him.
The First Order has a way of ruining anything it bleeds into association with, though. It's hard to push past feeling that. ]
Poe's the one who came up with it. I broke him out of a holding cell because I needed a pilot to escape: that was how we met. [ a vague flappy hand gesture that goes with giving a little extra context goes here. ] He asked what my name was. I gave him my designation, but he said he wouldn't use it, he was gonna call me Finn. Asked if that was okay. He's the first person who ever-- he made it a choice. I didn't have to let him call me that. I could say no.
[ And that's the story of how Poe Dameron could probably have anyone ride or die for him within five minutes, basically. Or the story of how easy it is for Finn to become ride or die for anyone within five minutes. ]
So I liked it. So I picked it instead of changing it. So... I'm Finn.
